Are you aware of the LoCASE grant scheme?

Is your organisation registered and operating in the counties of Kent, Essex, or East Sussex? If so, you may be eligible for a LoCASE grant! Read on to see if you quality as the LoCASE grant scheme can provide support to your business in a number of ways:

Grant funding up to a maximum of £10,000 can be awarded to your organisation to improve your business performance and profitability. The grant will form up to 40% of the cost of your eligible project, with the remainder matched by your business;

Any business can use this money toward having energy efficiency measures installed for their business. The LoCASE grant scheme can contribute to both the cost of materials or equipment and any installation. Projects which save on fuel/mileage are also acceptable.

If your business offers low carbon (or “green”) goods or services, a business development grant is also available to you. You can claim against costs such as marketing, consultancy, equipment, IT software, product/process development, accreditation and certification.

The Steps To Environmental Management (STEM) scheme can help your business operate in a more environmentally friendly way, save money and win new business. It provides tools and templates to build an environmental management system aligned with the requirements of ISO 14001, a widely recognised international standard, or help you redesign an existing system. Workshops are laid on free of charge, which focus on each of the three stages of the scheme so you are able to progress at your own speed. Alternatively, you can be provided the material to work through in your own time. Businesses that complete each level of the scheme to receive an electronic certificate and a logo they can use to demonstrate their ongoing commitment to the environment.

Innovation, R&D and growth support to help low carbon / environmental sector companies develop new products and services is available via the University of Brighton’s Green Growth Platform and other regional universities.

A number of events and conferences will be supported by the project to help share information about the low carbon market including technologies and procurement whilst also providing you the chance to network with other businesses.
